Detailed Description

This is a cute specimen of bournonite crystals on barite crystals. The bournonite crystals are sharp cogwheel twins with a nice patina. Striking contrast with the barite blades. In very good condition, minor chipping and a couple of incomplete crystals. Cool, unusual material from a lesser known French locality.
